Question

Sporocytes are diploid cells.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Sporocytes:

1. Sporocytes are diploid cells in certain spore-bearing plants that undergo meiosis to produce four haploid cells.
2. The process by which sporocytes produce haploid cells is known as Sporogenesis.
3. Sporogenesis in reproductive structures is termed as sporangia.
4. The process involves sporogenous cells (sporocytes, also called spore mother cells) undergoing cell division to give rise to spores.
5. A diploid spore mother cell within the sporangium undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid spores.
6. Sporocytes are found in spore-bearing plants like liverworts, bryophytes, etc.

Final Answer: The above statement is true.
